Specification of Lette madam filed February 2, 1915. Serial No. 5.692.

To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, inthe county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiator-Cores. of p important advantages are attained and the less expensive device is rendered simpler.

and otherwise more convenient and advanwhereby an tageous for use. all as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The-novel features of. the invention will be'carcfully defined'in the appended claim.

In order that my invention may be the better understood. I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the acc0mpauving drawings, wherein-' Figure 1 is a view, partly in elevation and partly in section, of a radiator co'reconstructed in accordance with an embodiment 'of my invention; Fig.2 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a side view, partly in elevation and partly in sectiomof the core as disclosed in Fig-1; and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view in perspective of one of the units comprised in my improved .core.

My improved core, as herein embodied, comprises a plurality of unitsof complemental construction which when assembled afford the air passages A, the vertical water spaces S and the horizontal water spaces S, and, as herein embodied, each of the units is formed of two sheets of metal provided with the plaits 1, the plaits of one sheet being oppositely disposed relative to the other and alternate, and it is to be observed that the opposed faces of a single plait, as indicated at 2, are gradually. separated from opposite sides of the sheet on converging planes increased horizontal Water Space S of substantially diamond shape between the faces of the plait 1 is afforded,

and I arrange. the intermediate portion of the sheets, as indicated at3,'in gradually converging planes extending from the front and rear edges of the sheet to acentral meeting line. It is to-bc observed, as indicated at 6, that the. vertical outer edge portion of the plait 1' is flat anddisposed on inwardly converging planes-s0 as to properly engage the intermediate portion 7 of the coacting sheet to which saidedge portion of the plaits are suitably secured by solder or otherwise. By this arrangement, it will be seen that each of the air spaces A is gradually restricted from its upper extremities to a point substantially midwa-yrof its length. I also find it ofadvantage to provide the intermediate portion'l' of each of the sheets withthe reinforcing ribf9 so that the unit will possess a maximum of strength.

The adjacent extremities of tho'sheets comprised in each of theunits areprovided with the interlocking flanges t soldered orotherwise permanently connected and the end portions 5. of the plaits' are soldered.

The-units are placed back to ba ckwith their rs mm. ratenma'n c. 211.1915;

vertical marginal portions sealed whereby the core is produced,

From' the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that a core for radiators constructed in accordance with my inven tion is of'an extremely simple andcompara tively inexpensive nature and is particu-' larly well adapted for 'use by reasonof the convenience and facility with which it'may be assembled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as'limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice.

I claim:

A radiator comprising a plurality of juxtaposed units, each unit consistingof a pair of opposed sheets having transversely-disposed plaits extending entirely thereacros s, the plaits of one sheet engaging the portion of the opposed sheet intermediate the plaits thereof, the extremities of the plaits being sealed, the opposed faces of the plaits being gradually separated from opposite sides of the sheet on converging planes to afford a. substantially diamond shape horizontal water space, the intermediate portions of the opposite sides. of thesheet' and secured to file intermediate portions of the opposed Witnesses:

al s'e disposed on inwardly conunit fer spacing anti f jglng planes from the opposit'eedges of forming the vertical passiiges' of the-radi- 8h pet, the intermediate portion of the ator. 'jv
